So maybe a legislative requirement on any company providing any kind of
aviation related insurance should be that all their policies must always
contain third-party liability coverage -- insurance on a plane should be
required to include liability coverage for others no matter who operates
it (even if it's stolen); insurance on a pilot should include liability
coverage for others, no matter what plane he operates (or in what
condition).

Great idea. After all, there are far too many insurance companies writing
small plane coverage and they're charging way too little for it.

My impression is that in Europe auto insurance coverage goes with the
car, not the driver. If so, good idea.

Absolutely! Because we all know most accidents are caused by cars, not
drivers. While we're at it, why not get rid of car insurance all together
and mandate that the electric company get insurance for those lightposts
that are always jumping in front of cars?
